  • Publication number: 20070096710
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for controlling switching regulators to automatically switch from a traditional pulse-width modulation (PWM) mode, when the load current is higher than a predetermined value, to a pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode, when the load current drops to a point lower than the predetermine value. Switching modes increases the efficiency of the regulator when the load current is low without provoking a large output voltage transient. In some embodiments, a single switching cycle regulates the output in the PFM mode, which reduces the switching losses and enhances the efficiency of the regulator.

  • Patent number: 6762361
    Abstract: A sliding lid with an anchoring structure for covering a signal transmission port of an electronic device includes a housing of the electronic device, a first lid and a second lid. The housing has a first opening and a second opening corresponding respectively to the upper side and a lateral side of the signal transmission port. The first lid and the second lid correspond to the first opening and the second opening. The second lid is pivotally engaged with the first lid. The second lid may be slid in the second opening and spare a slot opening to allow a flat cable to pass through. The first lid is pivotally turned to cover the first opening. The invention improves the convenience of assembly and detachment of the lids, and also can prevent dusts or external objects from entering into the exposed signal transmission port of the electronic device.
